San Diego Zoo

Lions and Tigers and Bears ... Oh My!!!



The San Diego Zoo has one of the largest and most varied animal collections in the world. We saw everything from dung beatles to panda bears. Most of the exhibits of them were open air - there were times we were so close you could reach out and touch them, not that you would want to in many cases.

I tried to reduce the number of pictures as much as I could, sorry there are so many. Enjoy!

Monkeys. Terrible signs. Lots of bears, including the smallest species bear in the world (forget their name but they are damned cute) and two of my favorite bands (Panda Bear, Grizzly Bear). Old ladies sitting around watching meerkats and talking about their fantasy world of underground moms currently giving birth and the temperment of each of the babies. Bouncy floors around strange statues. Walking, but in comfortable shoes. Sad elephants. Asian people (I believe the panda bear exhibit is like their Mecca). Majestic tigers. The lack of weather in San Diego (which is a beautiful thing). Great day. Tired.
